It’s the little things.
It’s smiling and holding the door open. It is carrying in groceries.
It is raking leaves and shoveling snow.
It is taking the time to say hello and make sure that people feel seen.
But you and I can do a little something about that.
I’ve partnered with the amazing folks at Ready to Care to share just how the little things you do can make a big difference. By joining together, by doing the little things together – we can care for more people. We can increase our community’s ability to care for the seniors who live around us.
And consider Baking Your Heart Out – invite a senior you know over to spend the afternoon baking with you – or collect your kiddos and make some sweet treats to deliver to someone nearby.
Ready to sign up? Of course you are. Simple acts of giving that anyone can do help to make ‘we’ greater than ‘me’.
Head to Ready to Care, enter your name, phone number and country and you will receive weekly text messages with missions and inspiration.
I love this so much. It’s the little things that make a big impact, especially when we all do them. Thank you so much for sharing this.
I love the pure joy and love behind this idea. Everyone thinks you have to make huge, sweeping changes to make the world a better place. All you really need is to remember what matters and love people in the small ways.
A lot of love is behind this initiative. It doesn’t take a lot to make someone’s life a little better.
I love the idea of increasing the awareness of caring for aging people. Baking and shopping are easy things for us but it is a big deal for them. It reminded me the time I was baking banana bread with my grandma, and such activities bond both of us even more.
I think if we can do just the little things for our older generation, we’ll bring them peace of mind. Plus, it feels good to be able to help.
It doesn’t take much to make a difference in someone’s life. This sounds like an amazing program. Our seniors deserve a little kindness and compassion, so I’m glad this program in helping to connect seniors and volunteers together to make the world a little brighter place.
It is great that you partnered with the ready to care movement. This can teach kids to be very generous with their time and think of others before themselves.
I am so happy to hear that. I was a part of a similar group earlier this year and I met so many amazing people. I wish more of us would get involved .
This is so powerful what a wonderful idea. Thank you for letting me become aware of this.
What a good idea to ask a neighbor over to bake. We have an elderly neighbor who might love to do this with us this weekend. I’m going to ask her.
What a great way to keep the love going at this time of year for our seniors. Truly an admirable ideal and should be executed more often
